Hi new to this site, i have just last week bought my 1st bmw, the car is great to drive and as this forum advises 1st job was to get oil breather changed along with oil and filter.
the car has all been done and was even advised to run half normal size bottle of redex (diesel treatment) to full tank of diesel.
since i have put the redex in tank and changed oil filter ect the car has a tappet rattle (like petrol cars pinking) when at low-mid revs no noise above mid revs.
i filled car at tesco and wonder if this has caused the problem i read that tesco fuel is useless.
car didnt have noise until after the oil, breather filter ect.
the garage where oil and filter was done used castrol edge 5-30 oil as book.
i wonder if this oil is a bit thin or will annoying noise go away when car uses tank of fuel that has redex in it.?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
